Origin Words Re: Tutelo-Saponi Words

[Scott Collins]

I keep thinking that I had sent an email out asking about the word or words for orgin or begining in Tutelo-Saponi. If I did I cannot seem to find it at the moment.
 
manifest = qekego
"Qekego, manifest. (Dors.: Qekego-, Qekago-.) Accent on first syllable. In Qekego hiye, to place, put; see Hiye, to make. Cf. Aqekon, to be so. Alt. sp.: Xekako [O]." ---Page 49 of "Yesanechi (Tutelo) Etymological Lexicon" by William Meuse (2010)[sources Dorsey]
 
To me manifest is a synonym for begins or orgin or begining.
 
"Come = Ho, Hala, Ile." (pg.68, Meuse)
 
"Awake = Kikla" (pg. 66, Meuse)
 
The words came or come could be derived from arrive = hi:, li
wi- = I, me and my
hi: = arrive there
 
In Yesanechi Meuse is saying li = if ;as a "verbal prefix"
 
>From Oliverio pg. 194 under hi: arrive there;  hi = come, wihiok = I came, lihiok = comes (i.e action of arriving at present?) 
 
pg. 201 of Oliverio; "hu: = come here (motion under way) 
 
wi-hi = I arrive there and wi-hu = I went there or I came there or I come there?

Hi Scott,

The Biloxi word for "from" is kyąhe, but I don't have many examples off-hand of its use other than:

kyąheyą kudi, He comes from the same place (DS 217), which seems to break down to 
kyąhe-yą
from-there
ku-di
come-ASSERT (assertive).

Best I can tell right now, your sentences would be, in Biloxi:

ani kyąhe ku-(di)
water from come-(ASSERT)

ani-tka įcya (or) ani ąyaa įcya
water-in old.man (or) water person old.man 
(-tka is suffixed version of itka)

ąyaa-thi-yą kyąhe ku-(di)
people-house-DEF from come-(ASSERT)

Hope this might help.

Dave

I am attempting to figure out what the words are in Tutelo-Saponi for the following:
 
of
 
from
 
came or came from
 
Examples of usage would be:
He came from the water.
Old man of the water.
She came from the house of the people.
